Managing Stress - Part II

Welcome back to our two part series on Managing Stress. I hope the ideas and actions of last month's article were helpful and gave new direction to your daily lives. Incorporate these points to daily actions.

Look closely at the 33 recommendations to add balance to your life and control stress points. Number 27-separating work and home life, is huge. I have friends that practice symbolic steps like "jammies or sweats after work" or from dinner on no email etc. Whatever method works best for you..start now. Keep your lifestyle goals where you can see them everyday. Anthony Robbins shares that less than 2% of the population have written goals they refer to daily and those that do achieve them almost 100% of the time.

Best of luck and only good stress for you all....

Stress Management
Additional Points to Consider

There are several other things we can do in terms of managing our level of stress. The following list includes some of the more important ones.

Get sufficient sleep – without enough sleep, it doesn’t take much stress to break you down.

Separate work and play – Don’t live as if you had a 24-hour a day job, and be sure to maintain friendships with people in other lines of work.

seek out a confidant – sharing thoughts and feelings helps us understand the, and discussing our problems helps us cope with them.

Be creative, and have a realistic but worthwhile goal you are shooting for – keeping purpose in your life gives it meaning.

Be introspective, think about yourself – confronting your needs and fears is the best way to deal with them.

Look back to your stress quiz and note one major situation you are unhappy with and would like to change.

"Life Is What You Make It: Find your own path to fullfillment"

by Peter Buffet

Review

You may think that with a last name like his, Buffett has enjoyed a life of endless privilege. But the son of billionaire investor Warren Buffett says that the only real inheritance handed down from his parents was a philosophy: Forge your own path in life. It is a creed that has allowed him to follow his own passions, establish his own identity, and reap his own successes.

In Life Is What You Make It, Buffett expounds on the strong set of values given to him by his trusting and broadminded mother, his industrious and talented father, and the many life teachers he has met along the way.
